Alexander, I've never been a fan of OOC forums / or alternative ways of IC arrangements since I think the thrill you get by actually role-playing stuff is awesome. About the CROW / Cartel Alliance relationship, I discussed it briefly with Nikita earlier today.
From a REAL point of view, Ghost Syndicate and CROW are into an established commercial relationship (Because of the “services” you required from CROW). When I asked Nikita about making it have consequences IC as something natural, she replied that “we should work on it ICly”. My reply was, let’s do it as natural as possible, if Ghost Syndicate has commercial relationships with CROW (it is a fact) why not just let it flow into the IC realm, namely Ghost Syndicate and CROW having a good relationship or dunno, even Mutual Blue standings, even if it’s off the record because we are working together on something.
Damn I ended up all tied up. Hope you Aria Jenneth, Artemis97 or Myrhial get the idea, CROW is more than willing to improve our relationships with the Cartel (Which in fact go back to 2006) and Ghost Syndicate. Off the Record. Always Off the Record for CROW since we need to keep up the masquerade of being “Good, law-abiding citizens of the state”.
Keep your Wings Cold, April Knox
